hmm .. well all we can go on
is what we know .. folks can
determine what is what by the
sec filings and contacting
aaron white at transfer online
<hmmm wonder if the ta will go
*local* as well..time will tell>

anyhow .. approx 550M shares
of the float is held by investors

it happens ..

appreciate the *concern*


btw .. quick note .. on midas ..
they are a franchise .. like mcdonalds
some of the shops are individually
owned and some are corporate owned

here's some DD .. and a link .. hmmm

Corporate Profile
Midas is one of the world's largest providers of automotive service, including exhaust, brakes, steering, suspension, and maintenance services. There are more than 1,800 franchised and company-owned Midas locations in the United States and Canada and more than 700 licensed and franchised stores in the following 17 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Bahamas, Brazil, France, Honduras, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Switzerland.

now .. for the individually owned shops
the *owner* makes the decision as to
which system he wants in <could be a
customer request .. more likely it's
a set of feet on the street doing product
info and <gasp> promotion> .. so some owners
will buy aero's competition .. but some owners
will buy .. aero performance products .. hmmm
.. now wouldn't it be something if midas corporate
and their *shops* .. mandated aero .. gosh that
would be interesting .. along the lines of napa
stores .. autozone .. hmmm .. let's remember they
need to walk before they sprint ..


but here's a tip .. if one calls and actually
asks .. the question .. do you carry aero products?

it's either yes or no ...

if it's yes .. all sorts of excellent firsthand DD
can ensue .. if one asks the questions ..
